What happened

GEICO allegedly reported inaccurate information to LexisNexis's C.L.U.E. auto-insurance claims database and failed to correct or remove it after consumers disputed the information, leading to higher car insurance rates. The lawsuit claims this violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act. GEICO denies the allegations.

Do you qualify?

You are included if you filed a dispute through LexisNexis between March 13, 2022 and May 1, 2026 about C.L.U.E. report information that you said was not yours or reflected a mixed file; GEICO was identified as the source; LexisNexis responded that the information was 'unverifiable' or 'accurate'; GEICO did not have it corrected or removed; and the information remained on your report. You must also be on the Settlement Class List generated by GEICO.

What the settlement pays

Expected to be approximately $150 per Settlement Class Member.

Paid from a $1.6M settlement fund. Individual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed.

How to file

No claim form is required. If you do not exclude yourself and the settlement is approved, a payment of about $150 will be sent automatically by check or digital payment; update your address or choose digital payment by January 14, 2027 using your Notice ID and PIN.
